although my pest strips are taking care of many insects that appear to be aphids, my local hydro shop had "safer brand" end all insect killer". it is1% salts of fatty acids, .9% neem oil, .012% pyrethrins, and 98% other., can these be applied when plants are at 6 weeks flowering? i also bought doktor doom total release fogger which is pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide, as a last resort. anyone ever try any of these during late flowering?
so far my pest strips have caught a lot of the little destructive mfers. i also used some hot pepper wax. in a few days i should be able to tell if there is more damage or if i have halted the carnage. so far the damage is not bad enough to ruin the plants. however if it gets worse i have to consider these as options. but i am hesitant to in case they ruin the buds. all of them say they can be used on all fruits vegetables flowers etc. however, i would rather put my trust in someone's advice who has experience with the products. the last time i trusted the govt. and a manufacturers word on chemicals was agent orange. fortunately i survived in tact. Also, i have read extensively on this website and have learned that some of these will burn plants. i also worry about the taste since i have only about a month to go. any help will be greatly appreciated.
